"Hold on, hold on?!" Cai Mao and Kuai Yue were still bitterly resisting the attacks of the Yi Province Army and Pang Shiyuan's troops.
Pang Shiyuan seemed to have a tacit understanding with the Yi Province Army. As long as the Yi Province Army moved, Pang Shiyuan's troops would move as well, not giving Cai Mao and Kuai Yue a chance to catch their breath.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's troops suffered heavy casualties. Soon, more than ten thousand of them died.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue only had fifty thousand troops and they had lost a fifth of them. Furthermore, half of the soldiers that died were the elites of the Xiangyang Navy. This made Cai Mao's heart ache.
"Pang Shiyuan, I'll greet your ancestors!" Cai Mao could not help but curse.
Cai Mao did not feel bad when the Yi Province Army attacked him. After all, they were invading their territory and it was only natural for them to be beaten up. However, Cai Mao was unhappy when Pang Shiyuan and his master, Liu Bei, schemed against them.
This was a blatant betrayal. Cai Mao and Huang She had become Liu Bei's pawns. Everything they did was for Liu Bei's sake.
"Report!" A messenger came in and shouted.
"Speak!" Cai Mao shouted coldly.
"Reporting to the Military Advisor, outside the camp, Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan, sent a letter! Please take a look, Military Advisor! "The messenger handed over a letter.
Cai Mao took it and glanced at it. He immediately tore it up in anger.
Kuai Yue looked at Cai Mao in confusion.
Cai Mao said coldly, "This Pang Family brat wants me, Cai Mao, to surrender? He must be dreaming. Even if I have to fight to the death, I will not let him off!" “
That letter was naturally a letter from Pang Shiyuan urging them to surrender. However, this time, it was different from the last time. Instead, it was filled with a kind of threat and an air of superiority.
If you don't surrender, I will break into your camp and take your head. "
How could Cai Mao tolerate this? What a joke. Cai Mao looked down on Pang Shiyuan's master, Liu Bei, much less Pang Shiyuan.
"Not good, not good, our army's outer camp has been breached! A general covered in blood ran in and shouted at Cai Mao and Kuai Yue with a long face.
"What?! Cai Mao stood up abruptly.
In the entire camp, Cai Mao had only dug out three lines of defense. The first one was the outer camp. He had thought that relying on the first line of defense would at least be able to hold on for a while.
But it had only been a few days, and the first line of defense had already been breached.
The first line of defense was the most solid one.
"You have to hold the line! Don't let the enemy break into the second line of defense! If the enemy breaks through the second line of defense, don't come back! "Cai Pa is being ruthless. Previously, he was reluctant to put in all his forces. He just wanted to make a show of it. But now, he can't. He has to bring out a lot of forces.
At most, it would be a life and death struggle.
"Brother Yidu, is that letter really useful?" Cai Mao looked at Kuai Yue.
Cai Pa had stayed here to defend to the death because of Kuai Yue's words. Kuai Yue said that King of Han, Liu Mang, had already made arrangements and he only needed to find one person.
In addition, Kuai Yue had planned a bright future for Cai Mao. Cai Mao couldn't help but be moved.
However, the reinforcements had yet to arrive.
His first line of defense had been breached in two days. How long could the second and third lines last? Even if he managed to survive, how many of his direct subordinates would he be able to save? These were all questions.
"Don't worry, Brother Desi. I have worked with you for so many years. When have I ever lied to you?" Kuai Yue seemed very confident.
"That's good, that's good!" Cai Pa nodded and comforted himself.
Actually, Kuai Yue didn't have much confidence. After all, all plans couldn't keep up with the changes. If there was a mistake, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao would die here. However, Kuai Yue believed that if he died here, the King of Han wouldn't mistreat the Kuai Clan. After all, the King of Han was sworn brothers with his son, Kuai Ran, and the Kuai Clan still had Kuai Liang.
"Haha, the outer camp has already been breached! What can Cai Mao and Cai Desi use to fight us? "One of the ten thousand soldiers in Pang Shiyuan's army flattered Pang Tong.
The army continued to attack. Although there were heavy casualties, Pang Tong did not care.
At this time, the people who delivered the letter also came back, but not all of them came back. When they left, they still had ears, but when they came back, they had lost a pair of ears. It could be seen that the process of seeing them off was not a very pleasant one.
"Lord, please help me!" The messenger cried out in tears.
It turned out that his ears had been cut off by Cai Mao's subordinates to humiliate Pang Shiyuan.
"How dare you, Cai Piao Yue! Our Lord is giving him face, yet he doesn't want it. He refuses a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Milord, please allow me to go out into battle. I will definitely break into his camp, capture Cai Piao Yue, and bring him to Milord for punishment!"
Cai Mao's troops were forced to retreat again and again. However, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue were still persisting.
"You overestimate yourselves!" Even Pang Shiyuan was furious. She sneered as she looked at Cai Mao's camp. Pang Shiyuan wasn't a kind person. Now that Cai Mao had cut off the ear of her subordinate, wasn't this a slap to Pang Shiyuan's face?
Pang Shiyuan was filled with killing intent.
"Pass down the order. Attack the camp! I want to see Cai Mao's head in ten days! "
"Yes!" "Colonel Jiang left very quickly.
Outside Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's camp, wave after wave of enemies charged fearlessly. This was not because they were loyal to Pang Shiyuan but because Pang Shiyuan had threatened them with their families. Furthermore, Pang Shiyuan had promised to let them return to Jingzhou if they could take down Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's army. He had even rewarded them with money and food.
With such a reward, there would definitely be brave men.
They continued to charge at Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's camp. Even if it was an impenetrable fortress, they would still be able to break through it.
The situation seemed to be getting worse for Cai Mao's army. The second line of defense was also in danger.
They were about to take down the second line of defense.
Suddenly, battle cries could be heard from Cai Mao's camp.
"Kill!" A new force charged out from Cai Mao's camp.
"What's going on?" Pang Shiyuan panicked.
Only Pang Shiyuan remained calm and sneered, "You want to fight to the death? That would depend on whether you, Cai Mao, have the ability to do so! "
Pang Shiyuan thought that Cai Mao wanted to fight to the death. However, the number of reinforcements on the other side was increasing bit by bit, and they were coming in an endless stream.
"Not good, not good! Not good! Sir, the Yi Province Army is retreating! " The scout, who was in charge of monitoring the Yi Province Army and was also in contact with the Yi Province Army, shouted in panic.
"What?!" Pang Shiyuan was also surprised. He now knew why Cai Mao's camp had a steady stream of reinforcements. It was because the Yi Province Army had given up on attacking Cai Mao's camp, freeing Cai Mao's army from the rear.
"Is Zhang Ren crazy?!" Although Pang Shiyuan didn't know what Zhang Ren was doing, Pang Shiyuan wasn't an idiot. Although Pang Shiyuan could deal with Cai Mao's army, he would have to pay a heavy price. It wasn't worth it.
"Pass down the order, stop the attack, withdraw the troops, return to the camp, and prepare for the next order!" Since the Yi Province Army was not fighting, Pang Shiyuan was not going to fight either. He would wait for the Yi Province Army to attack Cai Mao and Kuai Yue together.
"Not good, not good, not good!" Another scout ran in in a panic.
"What's wrong?" Pang Shiyuan frowned and asked.
"Reporting, reporting to my lord, the Yi Province Army, the Yi Province Army is attacking us!"
"Hua!" This time, Pang Shiyuan could no longer sit still. His face was extremely unsightly.
"Haha, haha!" Cai Mao was overjoyed in the camp. The Yi Province Army had suddenly stopped attacking him. Not only that, but they had also joined forces with him to attack Pang Shiyuan. They had turned from enemies to allies in such a short time.
How could Cai Mao not be happy? Moreover, Cai Mao wanted to take revenge for what had happened to Pang Shiyuan. He wanted to let Pang Shiyuan have a taste of being surrounded.
"Is Fa Zheng also one of His Highness King of Han's men?" Cai Mao looked at the letter in his hand and asked Kuai Yue. This King of Han Liu Mang's ability is really strong. He is actually able to contact Fa Zheng from Yizhou and kill Zhang Song from Yizhou. This is really scary. This made Cai Mao believe in Liu Mang's strength even more.
Kuai Yue shook his head. He did not expect Fa Zheng to be in such a position. Previously, Fa Zheng was only a military officer. However, in the blink of an eye, he had become the Yi Province Army's subordinate. One must know that Kuai Yue was only in that position.
"No matter what, I, Cai Mao, will take revenge! Pang Shiyuan, you will not be able to escape today! "
It turned out that under Yan Yan's recommendation, Fa Zheng replaced Zhang Song to sit on the seat of Yi Province's Prime Minister. With Fa Zheng's ability, he was not inferior to Zhang Song at all. Therefore, Fa Zheng was able to control this position.
Soon, a military order was issued from Chengdu towards the Luo Feng Slope.
Chengdu Prefecture was only a few hundred miles away from the Luo Feng Slope battlefield. In less than two days, it was in Zhang Ren's hands.
If the Great General this time was someone else, such as Wu Yi and the others, then even if they wanted to stop the war, they would need time. They would also need time to consider if they should listen to the words of the Chengdu Prefecture. After all, a Great General in a foreign land would not listen to military orders.
However, Zhang Ren didn't, he directly chose to stop the war, because he was already suspicious of Pang Shiyuan and Zhang Fei. To be able to reveal Huang She's whereabouts to his own people, who would know how scheming they were? Zhang Ren
Moreover, Zhang Ren had discovered that their "allies" seemed to have the ability to know when the Yi Province Army would attack Cai Mao and Kuai Yue. They would learn from him and attack together.
This way, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue would not be able to take care of each other.
Everything was full of doubts.
Now that Zhang Ren had received Fa Zheng's letter, he finally understood.
Pang Shiyuan had been colluding with the Yi Province Army for a long time, and this person was none other than Zhang Song.
Without another word, Zhang Ren retreated and turned his gun to aim at Pang Shiyuan's army.
It was not good to have someone else do the dirty work for you.
The Yi Province Army was not picky. Whether it was Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, or Pang Shiyuan's army, they were all invaders to the Yi Province Army. Moreover, Pang Shiyuan had just used them. Therefore, they were filled with resentment towards Pang Shiyuan's army.
As for Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's army, they had long wanted to get rid of Pang Shiyuan and were naturally filled with killing intent.
With these two people who wanted to kill Pang Shiyuan's army, Pang Shiyuan was in trouble.
"Report! Urgent situation at the frontline!" “
The Central Army has sent an urgent report. They need reinforcements. Without reinforcements, the middle road will be gone. Gone! " “
"Report! General Cheng Hong has surrendered with his subordinates!" Cheng Hong was a general of ten thousand men in the frontline.
Pang Shiyuan's army was originally taken from Huang She's hands. Naturally, it would not be difficult for them to win. However, if they lost, they would be crippled.
Pang Shiyuan's face was gloomy and he could sense a dense killing intent.
Fa Zheng, Zhang Song! Yan Yan, Zhang Su! Pang Shiyuan had also received news from Yi Province's Chengdu Prefecture that their spy, Zhang Song, had fallen at the hands of his brother, Zhang Su, and his good friend, Fa Zheng.
Fa Zheng had even taken over Zhang Song's position under the recommendation of Yan Yan and became the new Yi Province Army's new leader. That was why the current situation was happening.
Pang Shiyuan did not know where he had gone wrong. With a gloomy face, he gritted his teeth and spat out a few words, "Pass down my orders. Retreat!" “
Pang Shiyuan retreated more than a hundred li from Luo Feng Slope to Yong 'an Prefecture. When he reached Yong' an Prefecture, he did not stay in the city. After all, the city was already in ruins. He set up camp in Wu County at the side.
Although Cai Mao and Kuai Yue were chasing after Pang Shiyuan, they were also tired and set up camp.
In this battle, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's troops did not decrease. Instead, they increased from fifty thousand to sixty thousand.
If one were to include the 10,000 soldiers that Pang Shiyuan had lost, that would mean that Pang Shiyuan had taken in 20,000 soldiers. Pang Shiyuan's men who had died in battle and were taken in by Pang Shiyuan's men were less than 30,000. If not for Zhang Fei, the losses would have been even more severe.
"Men! Help me send a letter to our Lord Pang Shiyuan! Haha! " "Cai Mao also wrote a letter of persuasion to surrender to Pang Shiyuan, right? Reciprocity demands reciprocity.
"Boom!" Pang Shiyuan slammed his fist on the table as blood flowed down his arm.
